L.A. couldn’t keep an NFL franchise the last time they had one. ie the St Louis Rams. Although they get them back, just long enough for them to just lose them to another city again.

First round will obviously be Luck, second will be TE (good possibility of Luck’s team mate), third will be a nose tackle. Rounds 4-7 will be a scramble for best players available to help w/special teams. I’m guessing they win 4-6 games.

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:23:08 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=511423#comment-1712924Real talk! Andrew Luck is the best player in the draft. RGIII has bust written all over him.

Colts draft Luck 1st overall, then in Rd. 2 grab a WR , pass catching TE or O-lineman. Lucks gonna need somebody to throw the ball to besides Reggie and Collie. I dont see Avery being the answer as a #2. If a top WR doesnt slip go for the top rated O-lineman. Gonna have to give Luck time to throw the ball, don’t want a repeat of David Carr.

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:20:38 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=511423#comment-1712763Their biggest need is at owner. Jim Irsay is a turd spelled with a capital T. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and Jimmy is slowly but surely taking after his father, Bob the Red Faced Drunk.

I figure it’ll be another 4 – 5 years and the attendance which sucked until Peyton Manning started winning will dwindle and Jimmy will start looking at LA as his next stop.

Jim Irsay is a turd. And there ain’t much any fan of the Dolts can say that will change that fact.

Before cleaning house, the cupboard was pretty bare. With a complete regime change, there can’t be any wasted picks. I hope the new GM was as good as Polian at finding starters in the undrafted market, as well.

Tackles, Guards, Centers and then more tackles……the Colts can allow Luck to go the way of David Carr.

How about a new owner? They got rid of everybody else. They should have been drafting some back up players 3-4 years ago to be able to step in as their team aged. Now it’s too late. Starting over from scratch while tweeting to show how important Irsay is has show that he needs to go, now.

————————————————-

This has the most hysterical comment in PFT history. “Breaking News: The Indianopolis Colt decided to send owner Jim Irsay packing today. ‘Jim was a wild one’ Colt said, ‘Much like I was as a foal.’ It is belived that the Indianoplis Colt is targeting Donald Trump as the new owner, they are hoping to bang out a contract in the next few days.” Wow, just wow….. “In other news, Tim Tebow has fired God…”

QB was the biggest issue for Indy bottom line. When your playing from behind that was not the Colts strength ever! ok maybe a few times. But look at the past 5 years or more and what that defense has averaged in yards and points given up…not much different then last year. Things that make you go hmmmmm

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:53:51 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=511423#comment-1712426This Colts team reminds me of the 07 Falcons and how they rebuilt. Obviously, different circumstances, but new coach, GM, qb, and many guys returning from an awful team. Now, I’m not saying the Colts will win 11 games like the 2008 Falcons did, but as long as Luck shows improvement throughout his rookie season, I don’t think they’ll be the worst team in the league. Keep in mind, teams rarely have the top pick two years in a row and even in Manning’s rookie season in 98, the Colts were bad but not the worst team in the league.

They had the Bob Sander’s Defense… The Bob Sander’s is injured defense… and of course last year’s No Defense… so yeah, I would bet they would go in a different direction that doesn’t rely on a player that only played 35 percent of the time.
————————————————–

Not a Colt’s fan but, I don’t understand all the Colts bashing. Okay, so their owner cuts a first ballot hall of famer, it happens. The team is obviously rebuilding. You can’t exactly rebuild with an AGING quarterback. Not to mention the money aspect. They had very little cap room. Seems to me it was more the Polian’s fault than Irsay’s. They (the Polian’s) missed on quite a few draft picks the last few years. So what the owner likes to tweet and stuff who cares?

And how can anyone say the defense was built around Bob Sanders? He wasn’t on that team last year. If anything the defense was built around Freeney he was after all Dungy’s first pick when he took over the team. So if anything Freeney was/is what they wanted in that defense.

No one wants to pay Franklin what he’s asking for what he provides. That’s why the Saints signed Bunkley away from Denver.

If they were smart, they would trade the No. 1 pick to the Browns for a whole host of picks (a la St. Louis/Washington). I’m sure they will also get high picks next year (due to a disaster of a 2012 campaign).

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:23:03 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=511423#comment-1712374One could legitimately argue that every position category NOT listed on this post is also a need for Indy (LB’s, OL, RB, DB…Kicker…).
——————————————————–
well, they are switching to a 3-4, but i tend to agree on some things, they do need another RB, to help out Brown. i personally would like to see Benson there, but wont happen. As for the kicker, i disagree there. unless Vinatieri is cut (which would be a bad move), they dont need a kicker and if they do cut Vinatieri, i hope Carolina signs him because he’s great and he’s clutch.

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:19:28 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=511423#comment-1712368my guess is the Colts get Luck in round one, then depending on who’s there they get either Coby Fleener (pass catching TE and Luck’s teammate), Alshon Jeffery (love his potential) or Stephen Hill or Kendall Wright (if he falls) or Randle.

As for the DT, i personally think they should sign a free agent DT, same with the panthers, Franklyn may not be great, but i think one of those teams should sign him.
